We can all appreciate a snow storm, but when we lose power things become inconvenient. Here are a few more tips to avoid a garage door lock-in:
3. Lock the garage door. When the automatic opener is disconnected, the garage door is not securely shut until you manually slide the lock bar.
4.Reconnect the automatic garage door opener when the power comes back on. Make sure the garage door is unlocked when the opener is reconnected. Attempting to open the garage door with the lock bar in place can cause major damage.
5. Invest in an automatic garage door opener that includes a battery back-up feature. That way, when the power goes out, the garage door will still function using the opener, as will the entry keypad and safety sensors.
Remember, it's best to think about a power outage before it actually happens. Stay safe this winter!
